Household Goods and Good Households in Late Medieval London


The Black Death that arrived in the spring of 1348 eventually killed nearly half of England's population. In its long aftermath, wages in London rose in response to labor shortages, many survivors moved into larger quarters in the depopulated city, and people in general spent more money on food, clothing, and household furnishings than they had before. Household Goods and Good Households in Late Medieval London looks at how this increased consumption reconfigured long-held gender roles and changed the domestic lives of London's merchants and artisans for years to come. Grounding her analysis in both the study of surviving household artifacts and extensive archival research, Katherine L. French examines the accommodations that Londoners made to their bigger houses and the increasing number of possessions these contained. The changes in material circumstance reshaped domestic hierarchies and produced new routines and expectations. Recognizing that the greater number of possessions required a different kind of management and care, French puts housework and gender at the center of her study. Historically, the task of managing bodies and things and the dirt and chaos they create has been unproblematically defined as women's work. Housework, however, is neither timeless nor ahistorical, and French traces a major shift in women's household responsibilities to the arrival and gendering of new possessions and the creation of new household spaces in the decades after the plague.

Six Red Months in Russia


Louise Bryant and her husband John Reed were among a relatively small group of Americans who participated in one of the most important events of the twentieth century, the Russian Revolution of 1917. As first-hand observers, they attended meetings of the revolutionaries, were present at teh Winter Palace as it was under attack, and witnesssed  the surrender of the palace guards. Over the next weeks, they saw a new regime emerge and met manu of tis most important figures, including Lenin, Trotsky, Kamenev, and Kollontai. Bryant returned home in 1918 and immediately began working on the book that would becime Six Red Months in Russia. Unfortunately for Bryant, her sec and her relationship with Reed overshadowed her talent as a writer and the depth of her observations of this historic event. But Bryant deserves better; she had her oen voice and was a skilled observer and journalist in her own right. While Reed''s book is certainly a significant work, it contains little personal commentary. Bryant''s account, by comparison, is also a documentation of the revolution, but it goes farther than Reed''s in many wants, adding interpretation to observation. Bryant communicates what life was like during the days of the revolution - the people, the food, the excitement, the fear. She is also keenly aware of her American audience and speaks directly to them, urging them to pay attention to this world-changing moment in history and not to be fooled by the misinformation about Bolshevism and the new regime. Six Red Months in Russia conveys Bryant''s understanding of the revolution, and reminds us of the utter enthusiasm that many Russians, and Americans, felt for socialism and its yet-untainted, utopian ideals. This new edition of Bryant''s book is annotated and set in its appropriate historical context to create a more accessible text for modern readers on the anniversary of this truly world-changing event.

Legenda o grálu


Na hradě, který se dá velmi obtížně nalézt, střeží král tajuplnou zázračnou nádobu, jež udržuje život a poskytuje potravu. Král je nemocný a okolní krajina pustne. Může být vyléčen pouze tehdy, jestliže hrad nalezne znamenitý rytíř a při pohledu na to, co spatří, položí určitou otázku. Takový je jeden z důležitých momentů středověké legendy o svatém grálu a tato kniha představuje její hlubinněpsychologický výklad z pohledu psychologie, kulturních dějin, religionistiky, mytologie a literární vědy. Autorky zkoumají symboliku grálu, jeho vztah k alchymii, křesťanské mystice, keltským mýtům a pohádkám. Přibližují historický vývoj legendy, její propojení s artušovskými příběhy a archetypový význam hledání grálu jako cesty k duchovnímu poznání. Dílo čerpá z psychologických teorií Carla Gustava Junga a odkrývá hlubší významy, které legenda nese pro moderního člověka. Podobně jako ve středověké alchymii se totiž v poetických fantazijních dílech souvisejících se symbolikou grálu odrážejí hluboko uložené, nevědomé duševní procesy, které mají dodnes mimořádný význam, neboť předjímají náboženský problém současnosti.

Terápiás írás


A Terápiás írás a legfontosabb szakirodalmak ismertetésén, számos írásgyakorlat példáján és önreflektív személyes élménybeszámolókon keresztül mutatja be az egyes írástípusokat. A könyv azzal a nem titkolt szándékkal jött létre, hogy alkalmazásképes ismereteket nyújtson azoknak, akik önmaguk építésére vagy mások segítésében, terápiájában alkalmaznák az írást. Kiindulópontja, hogy a terápiás írás mindenkié, az írásgyakorlás nem igényel előzetes tudást vagy jártasságot, elsősorban nyitottság, vállalkozószellem és őszinteség kell hozzá, meg bizonyos fokú bátorság. „Az írás, a nyelv nemcsak arra alkalmas, hogy kifejezzük, amit amúgy is tudunk, hanem olyasmit is segít elérni, ami a nyelv előtt és a nyelv alatt van, meg tudja nyitni a tudattalan erőforrásait, ezért általa olyan érzelmi tartalmakkal is találkozhat az, aki ír, amelyek addig rejtve voltak előtte, vagy amelyeket önvédelemből elfojtott, jó mélyre elásott a tudatában. Az írás nehéz, fájdalmas élményeket is felszínre hoz, de egyúttal felkínálja a gyógyulás, az enyhülés lehetőségét: a traumák feldolgozásának meggyorsításában és a súlyosabb zavarok enyhítésében is fontos szerepe lehet.”

Vzácná onemocnění


Před 10 lety vyšla první domácí monografie zabývající se problematikou vzácných onemocnění. Od té doby se nejenom výrazně zvýšilo povědomí o této skupině velmi rozdílných chorob, které v České republice postihují až jeden milion obyvatel, ale též nastal výrazný posun v možnostech diagnostiky a účinnosti léčby některých onemocnění. Významný vývoj se odehrál taktéž v organizaci péče o tyto nemocné. Ustanovení Evropských referenčních sítí pro vzácná onemocnění propojujících expertní pracoviště po celé EU je zásadním zlomem vedoucím ke zlepšení péče o nemocné s těmito raritními diagnózami. Česká centra napříč republikou jsou zapojena do 17 evropských sítí a spolupracují s předními evropskými experty. Cílem knihy je poskytnout informace o vývoji, který zásadním způsobem ovlivnil diagnostiku a léčbu vybraných vzácných onemocnění. Proměnou prošly také pacientské organizace, které se výrazně podílejí na formování politiky v oblasti vzácných onemocnění, a to jak na české, tak i evropské úrovni. Zcela unikátní v evropském prostoru je role pacientů v českém regulačním procesu pro léky pro vzácná onemocnění. Nicméně do budoucna vystává řada kritických bodů v oblasti vzácných onemocnění. Od možností léčby raritních chorob mimo území České republiky přes otázky dostupnosti nákladné terapie a jejího financování až po etické otázky týkající se léčby i diagnostiky. Významným aktérem na poli vzácných onemocnění je farmaceutický průmysl a jeho interakce s akademickou komunitou a potřebami pacientů, bez níž by vývoj léků pro vzácná onemocnění nebyl možný. Publikace by měla usnadnit základní orientaci v této problematice specialistům různých oborů i lékařům prvního kontaktu.

Murky Water


Essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of our most vital resource. Our water system is a mess. Rising bills and rivers full of sewage grab the headlines, but the greater threat is climate crisis, bringing increased drought and flooding. This book exposes the many problems with our unsustainable water system. Unfair charges limit spending on infrastructure, while financial extraction has turned the water companies into debt-burdened zombies in an increasingly fragmented system. Reforming regulation and tinkering with tariffs will not be enough, and public ownership is just the first step. Murky water shows that the system can only be made sustainable through a radical overhaul of how it is owned, managed, funded and planned. We need a new kind of water management, with national and catchment planning and coordinated action by landowners, local authorities and water companies. Westminster and Whitehall currently stand in the way. To overcome their resistance and secure a sustainable future, we must ignite a social movement capable of challenging power. -- .

The Suffering of a Child


A Mother’s Raw Journey Through Childhood Cancer and FaithThis is a raw, profound journal chronicling the author's experience during her 5-year-old daughter Emily's battle with terminal brain cancer. It’s written with unflinching honesty from within the storm of crisis, an intimate account exploring one of the cruellest experiences a parent can face—witnessing their child's suffering and death. Through carefully arranged thematic reflections, So examines how Emily's illness affected every relationship in their orbit: mother and child, husband and wife, sisters, healthcare providers, and community. The journal captures both the crushing weight of grief and the unexpected moments of grace that emerged from their darkest days. The book grapples with difficult existential questions about faith, meaning, and purpose when confronted with seemingly senseless suffering. It offers no easy answers but instead documents the author's authentic spiritual journey through doubt, anger, and eventual acceptance. Both a heartbreaking memoir and a meditation on finding meaning in loss, it will speak to anyone who has experienced profound grief or walked alongside those in pain. This powerful testament to a mother's love and a child's courage illuminates how we might face life's deepest sorrows with honesty and hope.

Out of Hitler's Shadow


Why were the United States and its Western Allies so lenient after the most atrocious war of all times? Out of Hitler''s Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.The destruction left by Nazi Germany was horrendous. The occupied countries had been ravaged and plundered, millions of people murdered, cities laid in ashes. There was every reason to make the defeated Germans pay for ''Hitler''s debt'' as The New York Times called the gigantic damage inflicted. But whereas the Soviet Union punished East Germany, the Western Allies, at the London Debt Conference (1952) decided to forgo all war-related debts. The Federal Republic of Germany - the Western successor state of Nazi Germany - had to settle no more than half of all outstanding debts stemming from pre-war obligations and post-war assistance. Only Israel and private Jewish organisations received reparations from the Federal Republic, but it was a modest amount.Why were the United States and its Western Allies so lenient after the most atrocious war of all times? Out of Hitler''s Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.These actions challenged widely held notions of justice. People who had suffered most from the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany were not compensated. The deal was unfair in many ways, but diplomats and politicians had to make hard choices. Five statesmen were particularly bold: U.S. Secretary of State Acheson, German Chancellor Adenauer, French Foreign Minister Schuman as well as Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion and Foreign Minister Sharett. Tobias Straumann explains why the personalities involved deserve to be remembered for their strategic clarity in the face of enormous resistance.

Apartheid, 1948-1994


This new study offers a fresh interpretation of apartheid South Africa. Emerging out of the author''s long-standing interests in the history of racial segregation, and drawing on a great deal of new scholarship, archival collections, and personal memoirs, he situates apartheid in global as well as local contexts. The overall conception of Apartheid, 1948-1994 is to integrate studies of resistance with the analysis of power, paying attention to the importance of ideas, institutions, and culture. Saul Dubow refamiliarises and defamiliarise apartheid so as to approach South Africa''s white supremacist past from unlikely perspectives. He asks not only why apartheid was defeated, but how it survived so long. He neither presumes the rise of apartheid nor its demise. This synoptic reinterpretation is designed to introduce students to apartheid and to generate new questions for experts in the field.
